Even from the few days we spent there, it is striking how much a specific architect, Antoni Gaudi, has impacted Barcelona. He has a very distinctive gothic modernist style that has shaped the whole of the city. His work is all over from his towering churchs, parks, government buildings, and his own homes. Several of these locations have become world heritage sites due to his profound influence. His use of open spaces, flowing lines, and whimsical, cartoon forms is magical.

Commerce building Guell (not positive on this one, we ran across several of his works while going around town, don't remember for sure which one this was)
